Don't wish it away Don't look at it like it's forever Between you and me I can honestly say That things will only get better And while I'm away Dust out the demons inside And it won't be long before you and me run To the place in our hearts where we hide And I guess that's why they call it the blues Time on my hands should be time spent with you Laughing like children, living like lovers Rolling like thunder under the covers And I guess that's why they call it the blues Just stare into space Picture my face in your hands Live for each second without hesitation And never forget I'm your man, Mary Mary Wait on me girl Cry in the night if it helps But more than ever I simply love you More than I love life itself And I guess that's why they call it the blues Time on my hands should be time spent with you Laughing like children, living like lovers Rolling like thunder under the covers And I guess that's why they call it the blues Wait on me boy (Wait on me girl) I Want You To Cry in the night if it helps(yeah) But more than ever I simply love you More than I love life itself And I guess that's why they call it the blues Time on my hands (time on my hands) should be time spent with you Laughing like children (laughing like children), living like lovers Rolling like thunder under the covers And I guess that's why they call it the blues Laughing like children Living like lovers Elton, living like lovers And I guess that's why they call it the blues And I guess that's why they call it the blues
